SEIU's Stern: Take Sestak seriously

Stern had met with Sestak yesterday to discuss the Democrat's intentions in the Pennsylvania Senate race. Sestak has been making a lot of noise as of late about challenging Sen. Arlen Specter (D) in the state's 2010 Democratic primary.

Beyond their traditional influence in Democratic contests, union leaders have made clear that their support for Specter in a primary is still an open question. Specter has said he opposes the Employee Free Choice Act (EFCA), a prized piece of union legislation, even after having switched parties to pursue reelection as a Democrat.
